The House Of Crossers - Episode 4:

We are the 9 members of The Council, representing the worlds of Zootopia, Mickey Mouse & Friends, Toy Story, Haunted Mansion, The Lion King, Big Hero 6, Tangled, Inside Out, and Wreck-It Ralph. But an intruder from a new dimension, Jafar, has planned to invade our lands, and a battle with him is imminent. One of ours is dead, and one of ours has betrayed us. With the help of a very powerful weapon, an Omega 83, we are the only ones who can travel through our own dimensions. We are the last hope of our galaxy, and in order to protect our lands and our people, we must prepare ourselves and travel to all 9 dimensions, to warn our homes and prepare them for the fight. We represent, The House Of Crossers.

Recap

Previously on The House of Crossers:

DIGITAL VOICE

Transportation to the Mickey Mouse & Friends dimension in 20 seconds.

---

As the transportation finishes, all land in a forest.

GUYSS !!!!!!! Where is Aladdin ?!

He betrayed us. Aladdin removed his hand off the cube before the transportation, which means he is still at The House Of Crossers. And whatever he is planning up there, it isn't good.

Oh no..it's not a what. It's a who.

Mickey.

---

The 8 members are walking in the forest for already few minutes now.

We don't look like people from around here ! They will notice it, and we cannot let that happen. If people start figuring out that there is even a slightest chance of transportation between dimensions, it will become absolute chaos.

Oh..thanks for the reminder. Take these.

---

Mrs. Hopps gives out little blue pills to everyone. On the front of it is written, "RAP", while the back of it is blank.

Look, I did not create those. The only thing I know is that those will make others see you like anthropomorphic animals. Dogs, cows, mice. It's made just for this dimension. In other words, they will make you look like people from around here.

I've never seen you around here, and we don't get a lot of visitors. What brings you in town ?

The..the..uhmm, culture.

Culture ? You mean our dancing houses, and our crazy people who just can't stop smiling.

Well..yeah actually. Why are they all so happy ?

Well..I shouldn't speak to you about this. Mickey, who is the mayor of this town, well...it's been a day since he hasn't come home. He's a terror around here, people are just hoping he won't come back. He never stayed out of town for this long. Maybe he's finally gone for good.

Soo...I think you still owe me my 5 crystallized rocks.

Haha. You'll always be a legend Nala. Here, take it, you deserve it.

---

As Flynn hands out the crystallized rocks to Nala, two tiny chipmunks come running around, stealing them, and start running away with them. Nala keeps running faster and faster, until she even follows them into one of the dancing houses, chasing the chipmunks into the living room.

AHHH !! THERE IS A PIG IN THE HOUSE !!!

What are you talking about Horace ? Did you take your pills toady ?

I LOST THEM !!! Wait, wait, wait !! Just please wait ! Don't call the officer. I was just chasing chipmunks.

You were chasing Chip and Dale ?

They stole something that belongs to me. Personal belongings.

You're just a pig, how did you run so fast !? It's impossible. You're not from around here, I can feel it.

A pig ? Oh no..the blue pill, of course they see me as a pig.

Clarabelle, she is not telling us everything. We shouldn't be helping her, she is probably a dangerous ninja criminal.

Oh stop it, and take your pills.

---

Horace takes out two blue pills out of his pocket. Similar to the one Mrs. Hopps gave earlier to the members, the letters, "RAP" are written on the front of the pill.

WAIT !! Where did you get those ?

---

Nala leaves the house and starts running back to find her group again.

Horace ?

Yes ?

Call the police. Now.

---

Few minutes later, Nala finally finds the group again.

I met two cows there, Horace and Clarabelle. I don't know what the guy had, but he was a bit crazy. Or unstable. Clarabelle told him to take his daily pills, or weekly, whatever. That's when I saw it, when he took out his pills out of his pocket. The pills were the same you gave to us Mrs. Hopps.

Businesses of one dimension are not aloud in another.

RAP is a mysterious organization, that originates from the Zootopia dimension if what Mrs. Hopps says is true. The Rations Center, which is the main national center where all food supplies, rations, and trades between dimensions are made. In no way, would they have allowed those blue illegal pills to be transported between the dimensions.

Because if the pills were made at the Zootopia dimension, and were not transported through the Rations Center, that means they were transported through an Omega 83. Another one. One that we are not aware of. There are other dimensional travellers around here, and we need to find them.

So Horace and Clarabelle come from other dimensions ?

No. They looked exactly like the people from around here. Someone else gave it to them, and I am pretty sure the effect of the pill is not what they think it is.

It's pretending to give out pills to fix others' problems. For us, it was so we could be seen as anthropomorphic animals, and for Horace, it was to fix whatever mental instability he had. But behind, the pill is doing something else, and we need to find out what.

End of Recap

Present Day:

---

All 8 members are standing on the porch of Mr. Mouse's Clubhouse. Mrs. Hopps knocks at the door.

Can someone here please remind me why we are still standing in front of Mr. Mouse's house ?

It's named the Clubhouse.

So..I don't care what it's called. Why are we even here ?

Plus, who's going to answer the door ? Not a dead man.

There's still his wife though. Minnie Mouse. Wait...Madame Leota is right...why are we going to see Minnie anyways ?

I don't know...the only thing I heard about her is that she is an annoying, rude, and disrespectful person in town. Oh..and apparently she terrorizes her neighbors and steals their fishes. Like an absolute b-word.

Are you actually believing what that guitarist said ? He was a complete liar, and he definitely wasn't speaking for everyone in this town, I'm pretty sure he had a grudge against the mayor. That's it. Don't take him on his word, he's just a bored mouse with stupid music....and...and I am going to give you proof that what he said was wrong.

Look Mrs. Hopps, I appreciate you have the sense of competition, but if your plan is to come here to meet Minnie Mouse just to prove to Wasabi that Mortimer was wrong about her, then it is absolutely ridiculous.

Except if..

Wait..

Oh no...except if...it's not about that. I know why we are here. She came here to see Minnie. That was her plan all along. That's why we're in this dimension in the first place. For what Mrs. Hopps ?

Okay, enough.

No, I think it would be good if you started to explain yourself a bit. We have a whole galaxy to save, Jafar could be here at any moment, and we're knocking for what, break her the news that her husband is dead and give her condolences. It's not exactly our priority.

Oh no, NO, NO, NO, NO !!!!!!! SHE IS GOING TO DO WORSE THAN THAT !!!!

Oh my god ! No...Judy ? You wouldn't...I mean...are you going to tell Minnie about our origins ? Where we come from ? Wait, wait, wait....how long do the blue pills even last ? HOW LONG !!!?

25 minutes.

I'm coming !! Give me a second !!!!

Oh no, we don't have time. She's coming !! The pills' effect will stop in less than two minutes. Mrs. Hopps !!! JUDY !! WHAT ARE YOU DOING !!!?

He's not doing it for her. He's doing it for him.

WHO CARES WHAT A DEAD MAN'S WILL WAS !!!? WE NEED TO GO !! SHE CAN'T SEE US !!! THE EFFECT OF THE PILL MIGHT ALREADY BE GONE AND WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IT !!!

---

Suddenly, the door of the Clubhouse opens.

Uhmm..hello. What an unpleasant surprise. Didn't know the mice and the cats were hanging with each other now. And the pigs and chickens.

JUDY !! PLEASE, JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING !!!

May we come in ? We have some important news to share with you, it concerns your husband.

Mickey. Oh, in what trouble did he get in this time ? Of course, please come in. I'll make some tea, make yourself comfortable.

---

Although against the idea, the members still enter the room and sit down on the couches laying in living room. Most of the room is multicolor, the objects are all dancing at the rhythm of the same melody of the other houses outside. Everything is perfect, the objects are perfectly placed next to each other, at the exact millimeter. There are doors everywhere, all closed, probably leading to other bedrooms, and bathrooms. Minnie had just left in the kitchen to go prepare out some tea.

Okay guys, please try to listen to me for a second. Mr. Mouse wanted me to do that. He wanted me to save our galaxy, we all know that. Now although that might be shocking, he wanted to implicate Minnie. He knew she would help us.

And then what, what's your big plan Mrs. Hopps ? What's our next stop on your own mysterious journey that none of us know anything about ?

We travel to the other 8 dimensions, and convince the other leaders to help us. To warn their people, gather their resources, and get ready for a fight.

That would involve absolute panic !! Everywhere ! People would be aware of transportation between dimensions !

So what Anger !? Project Escalatus is gone, and guess what, it didn't kill us all. It could have, the ratio of it making a galaxy nuclear bomb was very high. Project Escalatus was a mistake, we all know that, and Mr. Mouse paid the price. It saved the rest of us for a reason, and I am not going to ruin it.

You poor rabbit, you don't even know what you're talking about, Mickey's death is blinding you.

Anger, please, let her finish.

You don't even call him Mr. Mouse anymore. It's like a day was enough for all of you to loose your respect for the only man who ever cared about you. So yes, I am going to make a decision that we thought The Council would never have to make. Revealing the transportation of people through dimensions. You know...when we were going to activate Project Escalatus...when...when I was almost going to die, I thought about all the regrets I had. The fact that I hid those universal possibilities and expansions to my people, to my family, well I was disgusted by it. It was no honor from me. Or you all. We can do better, we can know better. Mr. Mouse...or Mickey..I guess..knew you were going to try to prevent me from doing such an act, that's why he only told me about this plan. He wanted me to keep it a secret till now. He told me, "Let everyone know."

That's it ! Those 3 words !? That's what he told you and you immediately assumed that. 3 words is enough for you to ruin ALL OF OUR PRINCIPLES !!!! I mean, it could have meant tons of other things. Am I right guys ?

---

He looks at the other members, but nobody agrees with him.

Guys ? Wasabi ? Flynn ?

Anger, we all know what it meant.

We are going to tell Minnie that we are from the other 8 dimensions, and that an intruder of a mysterious 10th dimension is coming to our worlds to invade us. We're going to tell her we need her to warn her people, and that they need to be ready to fight.

I don't follow you on one point though. Mickey Mouse & Friends is the only dimension in which Jafar can't enter in, because it is at the center of the Universe. Unless registered in the coding systems of the dimensions entrances, no one can enter in this dimension. Only leaders and mayors of towns such as Mickey were able to do that. Not even with the help of an Omega 83. What is the point of getting people here to fight if they are safe ?

But are they safe ? We wouldn't have ever thought Jafar could have got hold of an Omega 83, we would have never thought Aladdin could have entered our House Of Crossers or worse, betray us. What if Aladdin managed to save Mickey before it was too late ? What if he was working with Jafar and he was able to get Mickey to register him and Jafar through through the coding systems of the dimension entrances of this dimension ? What if they're already here ? What is RAP ? I don't know anything anymore. We just cannot take this risk. If Jafar gets control of this dimension, he has control of not only our galaxy, but the whole Universe. Mickey WAS a leader here, as far as I know, the only reason Aladdin could have possibly stayed at The Council Room was to be able to use him.

Those are a lot of what if's. But..I think I understand. You're right, we don't know anything. We cannot take the risk.

Great..and so the falling of The House Of..

AHHHH !!!!!!!!!

---

Suddenly, Easter Minnie comes in, seeing her 8 guests having transformed back into their ordinary selves. Yelling, she makes her tray of cup of teas fall down on the ground.

And..it's too late.

She can see us, right ?

No ! This isn't possible !! HELPP !!!! OH MY GOD !!!!! YOU'RE FROM THE OTHER DIMENSIONS !!! HOW, WHAT, I MEAN...how did you get HERE !!!!!!? Travelling people between dimensions was estimated to not be possible before at least another thousand of years, according to our scientists.

Yes..well surprise. Your scientists are a bit late.

And, everything we believed in is screwed.

How does it feel, looking at a human-sized toy ?

Worse..a human-sized emotion ? Like, I come from a brain, remember ?

Guys, not helping.

My name is Judy Hopps, and I represent my dimension, Zootopia.

What is Zootopia ?

---

The members all look in direction of Felix, estranged by what he had just said.

Felix ? You do know what is Zootopia, right ? My dimension ?

Wait, I'm sorry. What happened ?

You were asking about Zootopia. It's like you didn't know what it was.

Really ?

We'll talk about this later. Let me start again. My name is Judy Hopps, you must be Minnie. In front of you, are the 8 key figures of the 8 dimensions in our galaxy. This one being the 9th.

He, well...I wish...I wish I could tell you how it happened but...but...I wouldn't find the strength to tell you. But listen to me. Please....listen to me. We need your help. YOUR help. Someone from another dimension is coming to our worlds, YOUR world. You must have seen his threat already on the Screen Router, Jafar. We, leaders of the 9 dimensions covered it up by saying it was a joke, a montage, but the threat is real Minnie. You need to warn your people, tell them that they need to be ready for a fight. We're not getting out of this without one. And we can't....we can't do this, without you. Please...I know it's hard for you, but please..please..I am begging you...will you help us ?

He was everything to me...I loved him. So much..you know..you know the first time I met him..he brought me on a plane. We had just met...and he took me...on a plane ride. I was scared of planes. But...but with him..this fear disappeared. I knew he was the one...when...when he made me forget...my fears. He...he was the love of my life.

Minnie, I just can't know what you're going through right now. However, we are in desperate need of your help. I'll make you a deal..I'll find the strength to tell you how Mickey died, but please..please..leave me some time. In exchange...you need to help us.

You..you...you want to reveal..the existence...of dimensional travelling...here ? Now ? This would cause a global revolution.

We have no choice, Jafar is coming here, soon. The existence of dimensional travelling will be revealed, no matter how this will all turns out...it's only a matter of time. That should be our last focus.

Wait..wait, wait !!! Just slown down for a second. Mickey..if you don't want to tell me how he died just yet..then tell me this. What did he have to do in any of this ?

It's a long story, but...but he died..as a hero. He was our leader, leader of The Council. Leader of The House Of Crossers.

And a good one. He was a legend, a mentor, to all of us, and he left me to be his successor. I can't do this without you. He wanted you to help me. I'm not who..who he wants me to be. I..I'm..

---

Not being able to finish her sentence, Mrs. Hopps breaks down, falling in tears, in front of Minnie.

I...I guess..I guess I don't have a choice. For him. For Mickey. All these long nights he was pretending to go at the office, well..if I can help, at least maybe they won't have been for nothing. What do you want me to do ?

Okay...let me calm down. Shhh...shhhh...shhh. Now listen to us, you have to transfer a message through the Screen Router, a message to your dimension. You need to warn them of Jafar's arrival, get your armies prepared, get your resources filled up. Secure your buildings, your homes, your workplaces, everything. Contact all nearby towns, tell them to shut down all of their dimensional entrances. Shut down the Rations Center. Nothing or no one can leave this world. Am I making myself clear enough ?

For Mickey..yes..for Mickey. I will do it. How much time do I have ?

You don't have time, we're leaving for the Operational Room of this dimension, now.

The Operational Room ?

That's where we control all of the dimensional entrances of the Mickey Mouse & Friends world. Not even an Omega 83 can help get someone to enter in this world, except if he is registered in the dimensional entrances, like me and my team are. Mickey had registered us. Hopefully Jafar isn't. We used to do it ourselves back at The Council Room..located at The House Of Crossers. But...we can't get there anymore. Let's just say that this Operational Room was our backup plan. Our "on-planet" backup plan.

Okay, fine..yes. Let me take a few of my belongings, and we'll be ready to go.

Oh and Minnie ?

Ye...yes ?

Thank you for doing that. He would be so proud of you.

I'm sure he would be. And same goes for you, he would be honored.

---

The 8 members and Minnie walk out of the Clubhouse by using the back door. They then walk through the small alleys behind the houses, to not be noticed by any civilians.

The back door ? Now you're making me feel like a criminal.

Can't we just use those blue pills you have Mrs. Hopps ? I'm pretty sure you got to have some left.

I only took 16 pills. 8 for this dimension, and 8 for the Zootopia dimension.

I thought packs only came out in formats of 14.

That's when you are civilians of a peaceful town, and have no idea where those pills come from. Like Horace and Clarabelle. As for me, I know my dealer, he made me some extras.

And the other dimensions ? You think we're going to slip right through them ? Toy Story, Tangled, The Haunted Mansion ? We're going to need some more blue pills.

Oh wait..she's planning to get some more once we get to the Zootopia dimension. This also means that it is our next stop. Right Mrs. Hopps ?

For once, you're not acting like a nut head.

Which also means we're going to meet Woolter, your dealer. Sweet.

Sorry to break it up to you guys, but until we make a clear analysis of what is in those blue pills, and what is RAP, I'm not swallowing any more pills.

Could you guys please focus ? I'm trying to keep a cover for 8 people, and you're not helping.

Ha. You're going to have to deal with it Minnie, you can never shut down those guys. Never. Believe me, I tried.

So remind me again, why can't we just send a message to all 9 Screen Routers once we get to the Operational Room ?

Looks like someone wasn't listening..well I don't blame you. All of this is complicated. The Council Room, which was outside of this dimension, it could control all the Screen Routers. The Operational Room, where we are going at, is only for emergencies for this dimension, no others.

And this is an emergency ?

Well of course it is !!!!

What happened to the, "don't blow the cover" mode ?

Oh don't begin Nala !!!

Why are we even walking in the back alley ? We're marching to the room that will reveal dimensional travelling anyways. I mean, why should we care if people see us now ?

You !! OVER THERE !! Stopp !!!

That's why. Let me handle this.

---

The police chief walks up to the group and his eyes grows wider at each step.

Oh..MY..GOD !!!

Okay O'Hara, you need to pretend you never saw any of this. Until the next 30 minutes. Can you do this for me?

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT !!!!! Horace and Clarabelle were right. They warned me that there was something strange in town going on.

Wait..they called the police ?

Of course they did, a pig came running around at full speed chasing chipmunks, in their own house. You're not from around here ? Nor from around this planet ? You're from the other 8 dimensions !! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE !!!

Chief, they are not dangerous. They are under my watch, and I order you to stay shut about this.

Now listen to me you stupid rat. You're lucky I burned your clothes. If you don't want me to burn your face next, you're going to quietly turn around, and get back to whatever you were doing.

AHHHHHH !! IT BURNS !!!

---

As Chief O'Hara screams in pain, he takes out a little blue pill with the words, "RAP" written on it. He swallows it and seconds after, cools down, already feeling better.

THAT !! MINNIE !!! What are those pills ? Horace and Clarabelle had those.

You mean the pill he just took ? Depends, they come out for many different purposes. Painkillers mostly. Heal from wounds. Relax a mental patient. Edible chewing-gum.

Chewing-gum ?

Yeah..we don't really know how they are brought in, but they are all sold at the administration board.

So that confirms our theory. RAP IS making pills to suit everyone's needs, but the pill has a different purpose. We need to find out what.

Wait...how do you know about those pills ?

Because we used them...to fool others that we had shape shifted.

---

The Chief, scared, runs away.

I don't know who you are...but you are DANGEROUS !!! ALIENS !!! AHH !!!

At least he's gone.

We need to head to the Operational Room. Now.

Okay, follow me. It's this way.

In the forest ?

No, it's a little merchant stand in the main street of your town....OF COURSE IN THE FOREST. Where would he hide the room, if not there ?

---

The members walk couple hours until they finally arrive in front of a huge stone door. The rest of the building is hidden under the mountain. The letters, "H.O.C" are written on the front door.

HOC ?

The House Of Crossers. Okey, someone help me open this door.

---

The members look everywhere, but there is no handle in sight.

Perhaps a vocal password ?

No ! I would know it if there was a password. It's supposed to be a handle.

So you built a giant door without a handle ? Or a passcode ?

I don't know, it must have been 30 years since anyone entered in this room.

There's rust everywhere. You're not going to open it with a simple handle, that I can tell you.

Wait, wait, wait....are you TELLING ME, that we are STUCK HERE, AND THAT WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT !!!?

So...all of this was for nothing ?

I can't believe it....we walked HOURS, for nothing !!! Plus it's not like any of us is strong here. We would need something huge like a rock boulder, if we ever planned in destroying that door down. I would help but my fire won't do anything to the stone, that I can tell you.

I can enter.

What ?

Well..I am a ghost. I can go through the door.

No wait..

---

Not listening to the warning, Madame Leota flies straight forward for the door. As her head reaches it, a small explosion booms from it. A big blast then projects her few meters away.

MADAME LEOTA !!!

LEOTA !!!!!

Oh my god !! Are you okay !!!?

Why didn't it work ?

I'm fine. I hurt my head a bit, but I'm fine. What happened ?

You thought you could fool the most advanced technology in our galaxy ? No one can enter through the door, not even a ghost. There's a mechanical barrier making sure that the only authorized people are those who enter legally. Or respectfully.

You mean with an invisible handle ?

What about Aladdin ? He entered The House Of Crossers, that was impossible to do. Our mechanical barrier up there was probably 10 times more powerful. We just need to find a clue on how Aladdin got to The Council's Room and then we can find a way to get in there.

Felix, maybe if we had a small idea on how Aladdin did it, it could help. At the moment, we have no clue. We're not going to find a clue in the forest.

What about strength ? I mean...it's stone, right ?

We just talked about this, none of us is strong enough to break the door. Oh..and for your information, we don't have a giant catapult to break it.

Because we're not the ones who are going to break it.

Oh great, and who's going to be the incredible human that will help us ? If I may say something, your small and innocent civilians won't even do a crack to the door.

I know someone that can help us. He's a giant that lives in a cave, not far from here. He's probably 10 or 20 times our size. My point is, he could probably be able to destroy that door.

Why am I feeling like he is NOT going to help us for free ?

Because he won't.

Fine. That should be a piece of cake. What does he want ?

He wants a toy.

A toy ? We'll find him one. I can bet you that there are plenty of toys in your town. We'll easily find that.

No, you don't get it. He wants a toy from the Toy Story dimension.

Wait, what !!!!?

What !!!? Is he even aware dimensional travelling is not possible ?

That's why nobody ever asked him favors. No one was ever able to fulfill his need. Trust me, many people have tried to negotiate, but his answer is always the same. He wants a toy from the Toy Story dimension.

Okay...what if we fool him ?

You know what happens when people come in, asking favors, and they can't fulfill their part of the deal ? He eats them. You know what happens when people trick him ? He eats them. You know what happens...

Okay, FINE. He eats them, we heard you the 1st time. So why did you mention that giant monster if he can't help us ?
